Just a thought. In the Balearics (the Med) Astra2D suffers as the earth precesses - wobbles on its axis. Dcould this be the same effect on the northern edge of the footprint?

So long as you know the parameters for the channel on that, or any,satellite - frequency, polarity, symbol rate, and local oscillator of your LNB, you can directly enter them onto the meter. It will then find the signal suiting those parameters.

Does anyone have loader sotware for this receiver, or know how to copy the channel lineup to an additional one?

Try the satcatcher models. they are byinging one out with spectrum, useful for slope, and levels, ber etc as well as piccies. I've seen a prototype, in february, so it should be available. As for price, probably like the sat one, about £450...plus the deraded VAT.. unpaid tax collectors thats...

When will the terrestrial be here? and will it have video out?

Hi Rolfw, Yes its about £445.00+VAT

Try the Satcatcher exel TV. Its got all the European channels in it, got a speccy, and will show picture and sound on the FTA channels. It also drives a diseqc motor! Comes with a handbook in english - well Yorkshire English actually - and a CD to write or edit the channel plans. We use them for...
